Chapter 396(1/2)
Autumn goes and winter comes!
The first year of Taining is about to end.
When everyone thought they could spend this year safely, bad news came from the front line.
The Grand Marshal of Liangzhou, Liu Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou, is seriously ill!
The soldiers and horses in Liangzhou were unstable and were all frightened.
The originally stable battle situation suddenly showed violent fluctuations.
The Wei Dynasty lost two key battles in succession, and the Taiwei Lord Cui had to make a decision to give up part of the land he had recovered before and retreat to the defense line to wait for the follow-up.
The news reached the capital, and Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi did not even have a temper.
This is not a crime of war!
Can he accuse Liangzhou Governor Liu Zhang of being ill and not knowing how to choose a good time?
It's too cold.
However, the battle situation that had been reversed this year had been pushed forward for nearly a hundred miles, but Liu Zhang failed because of his serious illness.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi was naturally indignant.
"God is just trying to fight me! Since I ascended the throne, there has been no good news! There will always be accidents."
"Please take care of your health and be careful of anger and hurt your body!"
"I can't even get angry now? I..."
"Report to Your Majesty, Prince Liu is asking for a meeting!"
The eunuch interrupted Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi's complaint.
The eunuch Luo Xiaonian said: "The Prince Liu must have come for the governor of Liangzhou! The governor of Liangzhou is seriously ill, and the Prince Liu may want to go to the front line to fulfill his filial piety in person."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi rubbed his eyebrows and ordered: "Sir Xuan Liu's consort will meet you!"
...
The prince-in-law Liu Baoping was very anxious. He entered the palace because he did go to the front line to ask for an order to fulfill his filial piety.
Since becoming the prince consort, I have been trapped in the capital for many years and have few chances to leave the capital.
This time, the biological father was seriously ill and as a son, he had to go to the bedside to take a look no matter what.
If there is a three-length and two-length shortness, you can meet the last time.
He wanted to be filial, but the emperor had no reason to stop him.
After a few words of advice, he nodded happily to agree.
By the way, he asked him, "You want to go to the bedside to be filial, do you want to bring Dingtao?"
The prince-in-law Liu Baoping said solemnly: "It's cold and the ground is frozen, and the war is in chaos. Princess Dingtao is really inconvenient to follow me to the front line, so she is afraid that there will be something wrong. Your Majesty also knows that she is very thoughtful now. If someone doesn't keep the door and says something inappropriate, I'm worried that she will get stuck in a rude way and will damage her body."
"What you worry about makes sense! Dingtao does like to be stubborn! Forget it, don't take her there. You go to visit Lord Liu. If you are healthy, be sure to go and go back quickly!"
"promise!"
...
"You won't let me go with you?"
When Dingtao learned that his son-in-law Liu Baoping would not bring her with him, he was heartbroken.
The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt, my eyes were red, and tears fell down the next moment.
Liu Baoping held her hand and said, "The place I want to go is colder than the capital, and the conditions are very difficult. This season, it is difficult to even drink water. You have never left the capital since childhood and suddenly took you to such a bitter and cold place. What if your body can't stand it and falls ill?
What if you have an accident and you have a few shortcomings and you ask me to do? I'm still waiting for you to give birth to a fat boy for me, so you must not take risks. Just stay in the capital and wait for me to come back with peace of mind. I will write to you when I get there."
"But……"
"Be good, be obedient, okay?" Liu Baoping smiled, but his eyes looked at her firmly, and she could not refute the slightest.
Princess Dingtao looked at him for a few seconds, and finally lowered her head.
She begged weakly: "Then, then when you are away alone, you must take care of yourself. Write me if you have time, okay? Don't wait until you get to the place before writing me.
Liu Baoping smiled, "Okay! I will write to you whenever I have time. If you are in the princess's house alone, you should pay attention to your daily life and not be careless! If you are bored, go to the palace to accompany the empress dowager, or go out for social activities. Don't be careless all day long, be careful of getting sick."
"If you are not at home, I don't want to go anywhere." Dingtao was in a low mood and had a little temper.
Liu Baoping sighed, as if he was helpless.
He hugged her and patted her on the shoulder, "Everything is up to you. As long as you maintain your health, you can do whatever you want. By the time I come back next year, I hope to see you healthy."
"I will definitely take care of my health. You should go and come back early, don't worry me too much!"
"That's of course!"
...
On a cold morning when the wind was howling, the prince-in-law Liu Baoping led hundreds of personal guards and servants often set off to the front line.
Princess Dingtao was sent to Wuli Pavilion outside the city before stopping.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was quite reluctant to leave!
The blunt pain in her heart made her feel uncomfortable!
The prince consort and his party were about to disappear into their eyes, so she raised her hand and waved it.
I hope that my son-in-law Liu Baoping could look back and take a look, but I was disappointed in the end.
He never looked back.
He rode his horse and was firmly attracted to her in front, but he refused to look back.
Princess Dingtao put down her arm, lowered her head, tears fell, and her heart became more and more dull and painful!
"Princess, it's windy outside, go back to the carriage to rest!"
Dingtao wiped his tears and returned to the carriage, feeling deeper and deeper.
She asked her confidant palace maid, "Do you say the prince consort will come back next spring?"
"I don't know! No matter whether the governor Liu's health is good or bad, whether he can survive this level, the prince-consort cannot stay outside for a year or two. Next year, the prince-consort will return to the capital no matter what. Don't be too sad with your princess!"
Princess Dingtao whispered: "He used to go out to work for business. He walked for ten days and half a month, and I had never worried about it. For some reason, this time, I felt very uncomfortable and painful! It was like he would never return!"
"Your Highness the Princess is joking again! The princess will not go to the front line to fight, but will just visit the governor Liu. He will definitely be safe and return to the capital."
"I hope so!"
...
In the last half month of the first year of Taining, the capital was very cold.
Many elderly people say that this is the coldest year in Beijing in my memory.
Wear all the clothes on your body, and the thick cotton jacket cannot withstand the biting cold.
On the street, pedestrians are walking in a hurry, and everyone is running around for life.
The shop has already hung red lanterns, barely adding a touch of joy to the upcoming Spring Festival.
However, there is no smile on people's faces.
The weather is severe and cold, which has caused great inconvenience to everyone.
My cheeks were frozen and I couldn't laugh.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi almost killed his life with a cold wind and cold, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak.
So much so that the morning court had to stop.
The Political Affairs Hall discussed the government affairs and finally reported to him.
He looked at the memorial and felt heavy.
I thought I could only be a little happier this year, but God always doesn't open my eyes.
The war in the north continued because the Liangzhou Governor Liu Zhang was seriously ill.
The soldiers and horses in Liangzhou are unwilling to fight. What should we do if this continues?
In order to protect your throat, you can't speak for the time being.
So he asked Luo Xiaonian, "Is there any news about the imperial physician sent to the front line?"
In order to treat Liu Zhang's illness and just in case, Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi sent the imperial physician to the front line to treat Liu Zhang as soon as before his son-in-law Liu Baoping left the capital.
He wanted to know Liu Zhang's condition as soon as possible and plan ahead for the subsequent combat plan.
Luo Xiaonian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has not yet been heard back. Perhaps the news is already on the way and it will take only a few days to arrive in the capital."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi wrote: "Hurry up!"
"promise!"
He lay on the hospital bed, feeling uncomfortable.
